Subject: [PATCH 4/5] MIPS: Alchemy: Use the GPIO watchdog driver on MTX-1
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:16:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016221617.2223004-5-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016221617.2223004-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com>
The MTX-1 watchdog is serviced by toggling GPIO 215. Describe its toggle
algorithm and 1.6-second minimum interval through the existing software
node properties, and register gpio-wdt instead of mtx1-wdt.
The nominal 100-second circuit reset the test board about 82 seconds after
starting an unclean-close test over the serial console. Allow for circuit
tolerance and console transmission time with a conservative 70-second
hardware service margin. Keep a 100-second initial userspace timeout and
let the core schedule keepalives for the longer userspace timeout.
Mark the watchdog always-running so the core services it before userspace
opens the device and after a clean stop, without trying to disable the
hardware by tristating the GPIO. Enable GPIO_WATCHDOG in the MTX-1
defconfig.
